A. hi...y not breast feed ur baby untill a year as it is the best food for baby. Since baby is now six months old u may also start solid food this will reduce the number of milk feed. start by giving single ingredient food without salt or sugar. You can also give pureed single grain cereal, sweet potatoes, peaches or bananas. Start with semi solids include rice water , moong dal water . after few days give moong dal khichdi make sure you mash it well. Always nurse or formula feed your baby before you offer her solids. Milk continues to be the primary source of nutrition, and the baby might not eat more than a few bites. Feed the baby the same kind of food for three days before you start on another new food. This allows you to identify allergies that the baby might have, if any. You will need to puree the foods for the first couple of months. Offer your baby sips of water while you feed her.
